SB: Day 4...Just Hanging Out

We spent a good while down by the river front and decided to head back up to the sidewalk and watch all of the Santa's walking by as they began to take their place in the parade. We had two great park benches all to ourselves and the kids never did get tired of just sitting around.

To clarify things a bit, there was a Santa convention in town and they held a St. Patty's Parade. There were over 1000 santas in the parade. Quite a sight. I will be sharing those pictures in the next post. Be prepared for lots and lots of pictures.

While we walked the main street earlier in the day, we took the kids to a shop similar to Build-A-Bear. I can't remember the name of it though. We let each one of them pic out their favorite animal to adopt. Kelsey chose a tiger and named him Stripes. Cole picked out a St. Patrick's Day (fitting) bear and named him Clover. Ella picked out an orange and white checkered bear and we gave her the name Sunshine. The kids were able to pick out sounds to place into their animals. Kelsey chose a roar. I can't remember what Cole chose, and Ella's has a tune that plays "You Are My Sunshine," thus the name Sunshine. So this next picture is of all three kids holding their new creations.

And here's our littlest monkey of the bunch climbing the light pole.
